Shechinah is a Hebrew word, which means "the Presence."  It refers to the brillance of light that marks the presence of the Lord, and was borrowed from the Hebrew by Christians.  See Matt17:5, and Acts 7:55.
Moses must have felt it, since after spending forty days and forty nights in it's presence, he came down from the mount with radiant light eminating from his face, so much so that he was required to wear a veil, to avoid frightening the children of Israel.  JS experienced such many times, as winessed by many of his contemporaries, after he had received a revelation. On the occasion that Sidney Rigdon co-received the revelation written as section D&C 76, it was noted that Sidney was almost totally drained by the experience.

Blaine,

   Where in the Bible does anyone "feel" the Shekinah? "...and the mormon
moses said, "I felt it! I felt it! Did you feel it? Just for a moment there
I felt it!", Blaine 3:12-15, BBV.

The shekinah was a HUGE column of smoke by day, and a column of fire by
night. I guess if you were in the middle of it you WOULD feel it! But only
for a second!

I do not read fairy tales to gain knowledge of the truth.
